Costa Rica: Our Favorites -- Pura Vida!

Image
Our family had a wonderful and educational trip to Costa Rica, complete with an incredible variety of adventurous outdoor activities, animal sightings and cultural immersion. We recognize that we were only tourists, but we were able to show our kids many of the contrasts of life in Costa Rica vs their home in California and we were able to give them a taste of what life is like for people in other countries.  As part of our family retrospective, we tabulated the favorite activities, places and hotels for each family member -- potentially as a source of inspiration for others considering a visit to the country.

The ones in the pictures are yellow and green, but these snakes can come in many different colors, including brown, grey, black, and even purple! These are Red-Eyed tree fr...
